Popular rock band playing Wichita Falls

For the first time in 11 years, Classic rock group STYX returns to Wichita Falls, scheduling a Jan. 12, 2014, concert at Wichita Falls Memorial Auditorium, the Convention & Visitors Bureau announced.

Showtime will be 7:30 pm.

This suburban Chicago band found broad success in the 1970s after the release of their single, "Lady." Four consecutive multi-platinum selling albums followed: "Crystal Ball", "The Grand Illusion", "Pieces Of Eight", and "Cornerstone".

A Gallup Poll named STYX as America's most popular rock band in 1981, the city's press release stated, and the band sold out such venues as Madison Square Garden, Chicago Stadium, Reunion Arena and The Forum in Los Angeles.
